due to advanced treatments in the field of heart disease, cyanotic heart disease patients have a greater chance of survival, and nowadays many of them live until adolescence or middle age. one of the signs of this disease is blood hypoxia, which has acute and chronic effects on the cns. in this paper the effect of chronic hypoxia on children affected by cyanotic congenital heart disease (chd) i...

introduction:patients with cyanotic heart disease may have an acceptable quality of life. however, they are invariably prone to several complications. the aim of this study is search about hematologic abnormalities in cyanotic congenital heart disease patients. materials and methods:  in this cross sectional study every cyanotic congenital heart disease patients who was referred to the adult co...

background: brain abscess remains a potentially fatal central nervous system (cns) disease, especially in developing countries. anaerobic abscess is difficult to diagnose because of cumbersome procedures associated with the isolation of anaerobes. materials and methods: this is a hospital-based retrospective microbiological analysis of 430 brain abscess materials (purulent aspirates and/or tiss...

INTRODUCTION Vascular endothelial growth factor is a potent stimulator of angiogenesis. Children with cyanotic congenital heart disease often experience the development of widespread formation of collateral blood vessels, which may represent a form of abnormal angiogenesis resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. We undertook the present study to determine whether children with cyanotic ...

The last 15 years have witnessed a very remarkable change in the attitude of the clinician towards cyanotic congenital heart disease. It is within the memory of many that it was the custom to make a simple diagnosis of congenital heart abnormality with cyanosis, and express the opinion that little or nothing could be done about it. Then there appeared the pioneer work of Abbott and others which...

background: hypoalbuminemia may be caused by liver disease, nephrotic syndrome, burns, protein-losing entropathy, malnutrition, and metabolic stress. alterations in albumin in metabolic stress such as cardiac surgery have been previously investigated. we studied serum albumin concentration in children with congenital heart disease and also the association of hypoalbuminemia with mortality and m...
